Restylane Classic filler

Restylane Classic is a Cross-linked Hyaluronic Acid or HA Filler.

HA adds volume and retains water. Injection into areas needing filling can make folds shallower, fill hollows, and adjust facial contour.

Classic is firmer than highly flexible Restylane variants such as Refyne or Defyne, suiting treatments needing a degree of shape support.

Restylane Classic uses NASHA™, Restylane's original technology, providing a relatively firm gel that does not expand excessively and retains shape well at the appropriate injection layer.

NASHA stands for Non-Animal Stabilized Hyaluronic Acid.

This Restylane technology stabilizes Hyaluronic Acid, allowing it to remain in tissue longer than non-cross-linked HA.

NASHA fillers emphasize shape retention and support over the high flexibility of Restylane's OBT group.

Restylane Classic and Restylane Lyft are examples of products using NASHA technology.

Classic has a medium-to-firm texture.

Its main characteristics are:

• ✓Good shape retention
• ✓Does not expand excessively
• ✓Fills folds well
• ✓Can add volume in some areas
• ✓Natural-looking shapes with appropriate layer and amount

It is fairly versatile, though it does not suit every facial area.

According to product information, Restylane Classic can fill wrinkles, add volume, and adjust facial contour.

Areas the doctor may select include:

• ✓Nasolabial folds
• ✓Marionette lines
• ✓Cheeks
• ✓Areas with folds or reduced volume
• ✓Lips for certain treatments
• ✓Areas needing a relatively firm but not excessively hard filler

Very thin-skinned areas such as under the eyes require special assessment, as Restylane now also has variants specifically for the under-eyes.

It may suit people who:

• ✓Have more noticeable nasolabial folds
• ✓Have marionette lines
• ✓Are beginning to lose volume in some facial areas
• ✓Want good shape retention
• ✓Do not want excessive expansion
• ✓Want folds filled with slight volume enhancement
• ✓Want an HA Filler that can be dissolved if necessary

Both use NASHA technology, but differ in texture and suitable applications.

For lip treatment, the doctor may choose Classic or Kysse according to lip characteristics and the desired shape.

Classic uses NASHA Technology, giving it a relatively firm texture and shape retention.

Defyne and Refyne use OBT technology, emphasizing more flexibility and movement with the face.

They therefore suit different applications.

• ✓Classic → Shape retention and fold filling
• ✓Refyne → Soft and flexible
• ✓Defyne → Flexible, with more support than Refyne

Yes.

Restylane Classic Lidocaine contains 3 mg/ml or 0.3% Lidocaine to help reduce injection pain.

If you have a history of allergy to Lidocaine or Amide anesthetics, inform the doctor before treatment.

Yes.

Restylane is one of the HA Fillers with ongoing research into nasolabial fold correction.

Classic's firm gel can support folds, but not everyone's nasolabial folds originate directly in the fold itself.

Some people lose anterior-cheek volume, making the folds more noticeable. The doctor may need to fill supporting facial areas first or together with the folds.

Product information states that Restylane Classyc Lidocaine can be used for Lip Enhancement.

Restylane also has Kysse, designed specifically for the lips.

Variant selection depends on whether the aim is to:

• ✓Adding volume
• ✓Defining the lip border
• ✓Adjust shape
• ✓Achieve a particular softness or shape retention

Not every lip type needs the same variant.

Yes.

Restylane Classic is a Hyaluronic Acid filler, so Hyaluronidase can dissolve it if the doctor considers it necessary.

Before dissolution, the doctor should always check the location and assess the filler amount.

Volume and changes are visible immediately after injection, but early swelling from the needle and injection may also occur.

Generally, wait approximately 1–2 weeks for swelling to decrease before reassessing the shape.

Timing differs by area, especially the lips, which often swell more than other areas.

After treatment, there may be:

• ✓Swelling
• ✓Redness
• ✓Needle marks
• ✓Bruising
• ✓Mild pain or tightness

Most symptoms gradually decrease after treatment.

For unusually severe pain, pale skin or progressively worsening discoloration, or visual abnormalities, contact the doctor immediately.

Before injection, you can inspect the actual product being used.

Items you should check include:

• ✓Restylane name
• ✓Classic / Classyc variant name
• ✓Lot numbers on the box and syringe
• ✓Expiry date
• ✓Thai FDA registration number
• ✓Thai-language leaflet
• ✓Intact box
• ✓Matching information on the box and syringe
